Elon Musk's X Bypasses Brazilian Supreme Court Ban

Elon Musk's social media platform X has found a way to bypass a Supreme Court-imposed ban in Brazil through an automatic update that reroutes users via Cloudflare's servers. This change allowed many Brazilian users to regain access to the platform, which had been effectively shut down since an August 30 ruling by Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The update complicates the enforcement of the ban, as it uses dynamic IP addresses shared with legitimate services, making it challenging to block X without impacting other sites. Despite this temporary workaround, Brazil's telecommunications regulator Anatel is investigating the situation, and the Supreme Court's ruling remains in effect. Former president Jair Bolsonaro has voiced support for Musk in this legal conflict, framing the ban as censorship. The future of X's access in Brazil remains uncertain amid ongoing scrutiny and potential legal repercussions.
